In the anniversary year of reformation 2017 the town Weil der Stadt commemorates the reformer Johannes Brenz (1499
- 1570) from Weil der Stadt by a sculpture path titled 'Hier Brenz! Feuer und Flamme für die Reformation' (literally: 'Here it is burning! Be on fire for Reformation'. The title plays with the name 'Brenz', which is very close to 'burning').

18 flames in the big lime tree next to the catholic church St. Peter and Paul change him into a 'tree of fire'. The flames may recall
the burning bush, the purgatory or contemporary arsonists and are dedicated to all who burned - heretics, witches, victims of wars and crimes, self-immolation of protest or distress. The shape of
the 'flame of freedom', the flame of the torch of the Statue of Liberty is used (in reduced size) and reminds us that bondage together with injustice are still belonging to the biggest unsolved
problems of mankind.

The shining red of the flames is perceptible only between dusk and dawn. Before and after the flames are white and recall umbels and
blossoms.
